Red Hat extends Linux Automation Strategy
By CXOtoday Staff
Mumbai, Jun 19, 2008

In order to extend company's Linux automation strategy, Red Hat has announced expanded capabilities and incorporated broadened community involvement for secure management of both users and systems across virtual and physical enterprise infrastructures.

Expanding its security portfolio with Enterprise Identity, Policy, and Audit (IPA) and through the opening of the Red Hat Network Satellite code base, it will facilitate community-driven enhancements for systems management. It also aims to extend administrator control and increase user productivity in progressively more demanding IT environments.

Katrinka McCallum, vice president (management and security business) of Red Hat said, "Delivering on the promise of any application, anywhere, anytime across both physical and virtual infrastructures requires integrated, secure management of users, systems and applications."

Dynamically allocating resources and providing efficient user access to systems and services as the IT landscape changes requires tightly integrated control systems. With Red Hat's management and security solutions spanning the operating system, virtualization, grid frameworks, middleware and SOA, Red Hat is rapidly advancing Linux automation

With Enterprise IPA, Red Hat provides centrally managed identity capabilities, single sign-on services, high-availability directory services, an easy-to-use access control framework and synchronization with Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), Microsoft's active directory and other data stores.

The incorporation of Identyx code base enables IPA to provide virtual directory services that allows organizations to deliver a unified view of identity across multiple sources, including LDAP, NIS (Network Information Systems), active directory, and databases.

Besides this, Red Hat has also announced the open sourcing of the Red Hat Network (RHN) Satellite code base, available under the GPLv2 license and known as Project Spacewalk. RHN Satellite is the Red Hat systems management solution that allows customers to manage Red Hat Enterprise Linux content updates, including system grouping permissions and scheduling, within their firewall. The solution also performs systems provisioning, update and monitoring, across physical and virtual servers.
